Leap Year

[sirhugs]

Do leap year babies only get sex once every four years?
What about leap year weddings?

Must be a story in this somewhere...

 

[Hypoxia]

I just flashed on a SF Leap Year trick: Kim was born on Leap Day long ago -- and only exists on Leap Day. Thus Kim ages only one day each four years. The first 1460 days (4 life years) spread over 5840 Earthly years were dicey but Kim adapted quickly. Kim celebrated their 18th birthday (6580 life days) in 1900 only 26320 Earth years after being born. Now in 2020, life-aged 18 years and one month, Kim can fuck whomever they wish with no consequences. Hey, lots changes in four years, the next time Kim materializes.

Husband is fifty, wife is forty-eight. They have an active and imaginative sex life.

But wifey was born on a leap day. This year, she turns thirteen! She dresses up as a little girl, complete with saddle shoes, pink fingernails, teddy bear, and lolly pop, and seduces her husband in a baby-girl voice as soon as he comes home from work.

The Lit censors head's would explode!

Of course with Hypoxia's plan you have explain how leap years are even a thing. I mean we take it and our current calendar for granted but it's not that old especially not when you start talking in terms of tens of thousands of years.

If it the mechanics your interested in and perhaps younging the girl down (not beneath 18, beneath several thousand) you may want to tie it to solar eclipses. Ether that of she gets the entire leap year. I mean one day every four years? You better hope you live in some location that has been continually inhabited thoughout all of human history cus otherwise half the time you're gonna plop down more than 24 hours from the nearest whatever.

@Sean: All human calendars are purely arbitrary so my idea is based solely on spurious magic. Unless... A leap day occurs once every four Earth years. Proxima Centauri is four light-years distant. Coincidence, or... ??

Let's say an antimatter micrometeorite rammed into the planet Proxima Centauri III creating a subterranean quantum black hole that spews streams of bizarre particles including tachyons, the carriers of time. Once every four Earth years, the four-light-year transit of tachyons crosses the void and strikes Earth, triggering leap-year effects.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Works for me. It's all sciency too!

 

[Hypoxia]

We can easily specify annual and biennial effects via local astronomical objects and any pattern of conjunctions etc. Tachyon-fountains can be inside our own solar system and needn't be controlled by aliens, with or without tentacles. Such can even be inside Earth -- the internal dynamics only generate another tachyon pulse once every X years.

Kim was born right atop the invisibly-small leap-day fountainhead just as it spewed and is bound to its intermittent emissions. Folks born atop other-period tachyon fountains have similar cycles. This explains ghostly or spiritual manifestations every X years.

If dark-matter + antimatter quantum black-hole tachyon fountains don't work for a tale, we can always invoke unobtainium or ice-eight or xenonite or whatever. Just make sure it sounds science-y enough.

Would the tachyons only by emoted every four years? Otherwise the Earth (after the initial four-year transit) would be continuously bombarded by the said particles, and strange phenomena would happen every year, not ever four.

Needs tweaking.

The Centaurus tachyon fountain sprays in other directions the rest of the time; it only aligns with Terra once every four Earth years. Or a dark-matter cluster forms a gravitational lens that focuses the stream Earthward on that time cycle because orbit.

While we're at it, let's specify a quantum anti-black-hole inside Earth that acts as a tachyon magnet, drawing the stream to that exact spot every 1461 days when everything aligns. The fountain and magnet points could be opposite ends of a wormhole. Kim is transported on a four-year loop through that wormhole, thus manifesting on Earth in that cycle.

welll.... not what I expected when I sent my idea into the world..but at least it didn't come back all covered in tentacle marks...

Leap-Year Tentacles: The Terrible Truth! Naw, we've done tentacles already. Leap-Year Giant Preying Mantids! Now THERE is a new trope! They swarm every leap-day, six-feet tall and looking for hominid sex.

Tachyons emote?

Tachyons emote?

All the universe is a stage and all particles (subatomic and larger) are merely players in the cosmic drama. Yes, of COURSE tachyons emote, as do photons, naked quarks (eek!) and anti-electrons, borons, and morons. I just saw a proton stream do a nifty strip-tease, acting (emoting) as if they enjoyed it rather than being bored (as borons) with the same old shit. Even neutrinos laugh and cry. But they're faking.

But I digress. A certain mythical mystical magic toxic basilisk emerges on Leap Day to terrorize, cauterize, and ossify the neighborhood. Only carefully-staged district-wide orgies can drive the noxious demonoid back to its underworld lair. Start fucking, kids.

I started writing a cycle about XMas Babies, kids born between 24-26 December, and the neglect they feel over lack of birthday presents, but I only got one tale done and I likely won't continue. But the "special day" theme has legs.

Non-fantastic leap year storylines might revolve around the special ways the players celebrate their 'official' day. A bunch of LY birthday-kids gather for orgy action, or flash-mobs for flash-fucks. A gang of LY anniversary celebrants swap spouses. Maybe there's LY incest or a fetish ritual.

Or how about a nefarious secret society set to conquer the world next Leap Day? They may even invoke tentacles...
